Warrants for the couple were issued Thursday, but authorities have not been able to locate them.

In February, Homicide Detective Matt Vasquez was called to West Jefferson Medical Center to investigate the death of Kamron who was brought into the emergency room dead by McKinney and Scott. Initially the death was ruled as unclassified, but Kamron had "significant signs neglect" including sores on his body and severe diaper rash. The infant also was dirty and malnourished, Fortunato said.

The next day an autopsy was performed on Kamron, and toxicology reports were requested.

A pathologist finally determined on Thursday that Kamron was dehydrated and had internal lacerations consistent with blunt force trauma. Police were notified that the death was being ruled a homicide and the warrants were issued.
